OK im pretty new at this stuff, i just got a detector and am doing some research on a story i heard when i was 10 yrs old, i had a rough idea where the location was and this is arial pretty much fits the description that was given to me, i would have loved to shown this to my frind that originally told me the story but he died back in 82 so i dont have that option this looks like it may actually be something any ideas

Dan, Many factors are involved in aerial photo interpretation. Anyone can guess, but to make an educated guess, takes a little education. (Of course) Apply the factors known, such as region, history, past culture etc. A simple search of the WIK Ency could help. Look at the trees, roads, paths, bridges, telephone poles etc (If Any) and get a base of measurement or scale. You can then get a good idea of your target size. Without the location and background history and the lack of definition or an index of relative known targets, you can guess till the cows come home. Have you checked to see if there are other pics of the area from other sources?

Would be nice to have a friend in NSA to scoot a sat into your target's orbit and get some high tech shots. Thermal and close up in high res would be nice.

It is definately man made. Posibbly a foundation. Depending on the location, it may be listed on an older map. If it is state side and circa 1740s on, you may be able to find it on a Beers Map.

Good luck. ..................Be more than glad to help, and I dont jump claims.

My guess: A starting line box for off-road vehicle races.

My guess: A starting line box for off-road vehicle races.

Looks to be a good guess with all those trails and ruts around. Motocross?
